Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Engagement with Trade Unions on Keeping Schools Open: Discussion

Mr. John Boyle:

The advice we give our members has helped because now the principal teacher goes to the classroom to speak to the key adults who are working with the children. One does not necessarily have to identify the child's name. The pod system works really well in primary schools. One can identify the pod and at that point do a proper risk assessment. The whole situation has been a massive burden on principals from start to finish and that is why I am giving them such a big shout out at this meeting.
